Re-Launch: Between These Lines by Jennifer Murgia

Between These Lines by Jennifer MurgiaYoung Adult ContemporaryFormat: eBook

When a Social Communications class assignment brings quiet Chase Mitman and popular Evie Cunningham together, it's a real eye-opener. Haunted and damaged in their own way, they have only shown others what they want them to see--not that they each hold a terrible secret deep inside, or that they have more in common than they'd ever like anyone to realize.

But then it happens. The sweaty palms. The kiss. And something worse . . . and Chase is there to pick up the pieces.

Knowing their relationship comes at a price, Chase’s life collides with Evie’s in the most beautiful and tragic way, until the unthinkable happens. The party. An innocent prank turns ugly. An anonymous note changes everything. And lives at Whitley Prep will never be the same.

Praise for Between These Lines:

"BETWEEN THESE LINES is an astounding story, told from alternating perspectives, about two people finding not only their true selves, but each other. Filled with heart-racing tension, this unique story left me breathless and craving more! It is Cruel Intensions meets Perfect Chemistry. I will be thinking about these characters for days to come.” ~ Jennifer Anne Davis (author of THE VOICE)

“With its perfectly realized characters and an ending that knocked me to my knees, BETWEEN THESE LINES delivers a profound message that strength can be found even in brokenness.” ~Darby Karchut (author of GRIFFIN RISING and FINN FINNEGAN)

“I was pulled in; just one more page, one more chapter, to the very end—which I never saw coming. BETWEEN THESE LINES is a touching, strike-at-your-heart story.” ~ Charlotte Bennardo (author of the Sirenz series, and the upcoming BLONDE OPS)

“YA author Jennifer Murgia (ANGEL STAR, LEMNISCATE, and THE BLISS) has created another chilling story in BETWEEN THESE LINES. Chase, restrained and reserved for a shocking reason, and Evie, trapped in a game she never entered have just found each other when the unthinkable happens. If this is star-crossed love, sign me up! Fans of Simone Elkeles and Tammara Webber will love Murgia!” ~ Laura Anderson Kurk, author of GLASS GIRL

On top of this re-release of one of Murgia's older works, we should also focus on the new book from her that is coming out this year! There are also (finally) pre-orders for it... right now!! If you have yet to read the first book, Forest of Whispers, and if you have a kindle it is currently 99cents on Amazon for a temporary time. If you want to read the first book for cheap, now would be the time!

Some secrets cannot be kept—in life or in death.Months
have passed since Rune has heard a single whisper from her long-dead
mother, the great witch of Bavaria. But the absence of one evil has only
made room for another.After rightfully inheriting her ancestral
home, Pyrmont Castle, Rune settles into a quiet life taking care of two
orphans left in the wake of the terrible witch hunt that claimed dozens
of lives in the nearby village. As the days grow colder, the castle’s
secrets beckon and Rune finds herself roaming where no one has set foot
in a long time. In the bowels of the fortress is a locked room full of
memories that hang like cobwebs—shelves stacked with jars, strange
specimens, putrid liquids, and scrolls of spells. Rune is undeniably
drawn to what she finds there, and she begins to dabble in the
possibilities of magic, hoping to find a cure for the strangeness
overwhelming the castle.As secrets unspool, the delicate thread of
Rune’s world is threatened when she realizes the key may lie in the dark
forest she once called home and the boy she thought she knew.

Jennifer Murgia writes moody fiction for teens—from paranormal fantasy (Angel Star, Lemniscate, The Bliss), to contemporary gut-punchers (Between These Lines). Her latest, Forest of Whispers, a 17th century historical mystery (about witches!) was a School Library Journal Fall 2014 HOT TITLE, and a 2014 Moonbeam Children’s Literature Award Winner. Look for the sequel, Castle of Sighs, to hit shelves 9.15.15 from Spencer Hill Press. In 2012, Jennifer Co-Founded YA FEST with YA author/friend, Cyn Balog. She coordinates this unique annual festival, bringing teens and fellow Young Adult authors together at her hometown library in Easton, PA. Visit her at www.jennifermurgia.com.
